Egerton inspires joy in life by cherishing childhood within a rich and creative learning journey. Our Christian values influence all decisions, enabling our community to flourish. We nurture everyone to reach their full potential as God intends, in mind, body and soul.
Our vision and associated values are theologically centred on the Bible narrative Feeding of the 5000 (Matthew 14: 13-21, Mark 6: 30-44, Luke 9: 10-17, John 6: 1-16). The feeding of the 5000 represents our school. In the story there was an inclusion of all people.
With Jesus in the midst the crowd received nourishment for their body, mind, heart and soul, first in Jesus teaching and then in receiving food. This meal was offered by the hands of a child and through Jesus miraculous power it became a meal in abundance. Our six Christian Values are derived from the Feeding of the 5000 story.
